Scientists win Nobel Prize in Chemistry for making tiny machines out of molecules

This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to three scientists who figured out how to build tiny machines out of molecules. The machines, which include a nano-sized car, are invisible to the human eye and have important implications in medicine and other fields. The researchers — Jean-Pierre Sauvage, J. Fraser Stoddart, and Bernard Feringa — will share the prize equally.
These machines are molecules with tiny movable parts that move in controlled ways and are a thous
